Era: Seven money-losing girls? They're trying to trick me into having a daughter again!

[Daily News: Just ten minutes ago, someone buried a metal box wrapped in old floral cloth in a pile of rocks under the third crooked tree on the back hill of Laotang Village. The box contained sixty yuan.]

Fang Wei was awakened by the alarm. He opened his eyes abruptly and immediately realized that this was definitely the work of the thief who stole the sixty yuan Yang owed!

These past two days, the three policemen from the local police station have been going door-to-door in the village questioning people, and everyone in the village is living in fear.

With that kind of presence, any thief would be terrified!

The thief who stole the money must have been terrified!

Especially today, when that middle-aged policeman left, he specifically mentioned that he would come back to investigate again tomorrow.

The thief was definitely worried that the money would be found in his own home, so he dared not continue to hide the money there.

They could only sneak off to the back of the mountain in the middle of the night when everyone in the village was asleep and bury the money in the ground.

As long as the stolen goods are not on him, even if the police suspect him, they can't do anything to him without evidence!

Without hesitation, Fang Wei carefully rolled out of bed, put on his pants in the dark, took out a machete and a rope from his home, and quietly left the house.

He quickly arrived at the base of Yang Qian's father's house. Without knocking, he simply climbed over the low wall and landed in the yard.

Inside the room, Yang Qian lay on the bed, tossing and turning as he made pancakes.

Just as he rolled over again, a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered his mouth tightly.

"Ugh! Ugh—"

Yang Qian turned pale with fright and struggled desperately to call for help.

"Don't move! It's me! Fang Wei!"

Fang Wei lowered his voice and said, word by word, "Don't make a sound, just listen."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Yang Qian immediately stopped struggling, but his eyes still darted around in terror.

Fang Wei slowly released his hand from his mouth, leaned close to his ear, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The thief who stole your money is currently burying the stolen cash in the back mountain."

Yang Qian's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock and anger.

"Don't make a sound."

Fang Wei pressed down hard on his shoulder and whispered, "If you alert him now and let that bastard get away, you'll never get your money back!"

Yang Qian gritted his teeth, forcibly swallowing back his anger, and said in a low voice, "I'll listen to you."

Without further ado, the two made their way towards the back of the mountain in the dark.

Fang Wei and Yang Qian had ambushed each other on both sides of the fork in the road, in the bushes and weeds that were half a person tall.

"Squat down."

He pressed Yang Qian's shoulders down, making him squat down, and then squatted down beside him, whispering, "From now on, no making a sound, no moving! If a mosquito bites you, you can't swat it!"

Yang Qian nodded vigorously, wishing he could tear that bastard who stole his money to pieces right now!

The mosquitoes on summer nights are so fierce they seem ready to devour you, buzzing around your ears.

No matter where the mosquito bites, it can find a place to bite, whether it's exposed or covered by clothing!

Yang Qian's forehead was covered in several large red bumps from being bitten, but he remembered what Fang Wei had said and didn't move around unnecessarily.

Less than the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, footsteps suddenly echoed on the path behind the mountain.

Fang Wei's muscles tensed up suddenly, one hand pressing down on Yang Qian's shoulder, the other gripping the handle of the machete.

Under the moonlight, a dark figure could be seen sneaking along the mountain path towards the village.

As the dark figure drew closer, Fang Wei, using the faint moonlight, immediately recognized the person's face.

Liu Wang!

"hey-hey……"

As Liu Wang walked along the path into the village, he said smugly, "I'm so smart! I hid the money in the mountains, and those stupid cops of yours won't find it even if they search three feet into the ground!"

"I'll wait until things calm down in a few days, then I'll go up the mountain and dig the money out!"

He even hummed a little tune, "Little sister, go forward boldly... go forward..."

Just as Liu Wang passed the bushes at the intersection, Fang Wei suddenly sprang up and slammed into his back!

Liu Wang felt something hit his back hard, and he suddenly lost his balance and fell straight to the ground.

"Who?! Who the hell is it—"

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Wei had already flipped the machete in his hand, pressing the back of the blade against Liu Wang's back, and said coldly, "Don't move! If you dare to move again, I'll chop off your hands and feet!"

"No, don't cut me! I won't move! I won't move!"

Liu Wang turned pale with fright, and a foul odor emanated from his crotch.

That bastard was so scared he peed himself!

"Liu Wang!!!"

Yang Qian, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, rushed out of the bushes and roared, "Fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations!!! You dare to steal my money!!!"

He pounced on Liu Wang, straddled him, and started punching him.

"That's the sixty yuan I worked so hard to earn hunting wild boars with Dawei! And you just stole it like that! I'll beat you to death, you bastard!!!"

Liu Wang screamed in pain as he was beaten, struggling desperately on the ground, trying to break free and escape.

But Fang Wei didn't give him the chance, stepping on his back and yelling, "Yang Qian! The rope!"

"They're here!"

Yang Qian quickly handed the rope to Fang Wei.

In just a few moments, Fang Wei twisted Liu Wang's arms behind his back, wrapped the rope around his wrists twice, and then tightened it!

"Ouch—it hurts!!!"

Liu Wang grimaced in pain, tears and snot streaming down his face, as he writhed on the ground.

"Keep hitting."

Fang Wei shoved the machete into the ground and said to Yang Qian, "Just don't kill him."

Yang Qian immediately rushed forward again, punching and kicking Liu Wang, shouting angrily, "Damn it! You made me get a good beating too! I'll break your arms and legs today!"

After he had been hitting for a while, Fang Wei finally spoke up: "Alright, stop now."

Yang Qian stopped, panting heavily, and spat fiercely on Liu Wang's face.

"Go to the village chief's house right now."

Fang Wei checked the knot on Liu Wang's wrist and said to Yang Qian, "Sound the gong and wake up the whole village."

Tell them the thief who stole your money has been caught.

"Make the commotion as loud as possible; the whole village must know!"

Yang Qian was taken aback at first, but quickly understood what Fang Wei meant.

He's going to call the whole village to see what happens to Liu Wang! That'll be even more satisfying than punching Liu Wang a hundred times!

"I'll go right now!"

Yang Qian turned around and ran wildly into the village. Before long, Laotang Village was completely awakened by the sound of a gong.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

"Caught! The thief who stole the money has been caught!!!"

Yang Qian yelled as he ran wildly through the village, "Get up, everyone! Get up and look at the thief! The bastard who stole my sixty yuan has been caught!!!"
